I remember my parents going to give blood after the
Kings Cross fire in 1987. I did exactly the same after the Kings Cross bombing last year.
Well, not exactly the same as we were all successful in giving (not sure if we have the same system in the UK - you can sign up to give blood free of charge quarterly, but they issue appeals for extra blood after emergencies)
